Law of Nature

Nicholas Ilechie / / 3 min read

Learn to find your consolation in the divine laws of nature.

Understand the difference:
Principles are good - they can guide your decisions, they can lead to success... or not.
But laws are divine.
Laws always yield their due outcome. Without fail.

A fool lives recklessly, breaking the laws, thinking he’s having fun.
The wise man lives in respect of the laws, and in doing so, he finds peace - not temporary pleasure, but eternal rest for his soul.

One of the greatest and most unbreakable laws is this:
"Whatsoever thou sow, thou must reap."
This law is written across eternity in flaming letters.
No curse can cancel it.
No prayer can rewrite it.
Heaven and earth may pass away - but these words will stand.

Christ said it plainly:
"Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."

Evil always leads to sorrow.
Don’t envy the wicked.
Don’t let impatience, greed, or desperation trick you into evil acts.
The end of evil is always destruction — even if the start looks like success.

Evil is seductive.
It always feels easier, more exciting, more rewarding in the moment...
But you can never predict the full consequences of evil.
You’ll never calculate the price.

Because nature - eternal, omnipotent, perfect judge - will decide your consequences, not you.

Nature does not forgive.
Nature does not forget.

When you sow good seeds, trust not in man to reward you.
Trust not in your own strength to harvest it.
Trust only in the law - in the eternal justice of nature.

We go astray when we try to play God.
When we try to take revenge.
When someone wounds us, we think hate will heal us.
We think vengeance will satisfy us.
It doesn't.
It poisons us.
It makes us into the very thing we despised.

You might succeed in your revenge - you might crush the one who wronged you - but then you’re left with the hollow man you became.
And after the hate runs dry, what will you have left to cling to?

Some turn to religion for forgiveness.
Some drown in bitterness, justifying their actions with endless excuses.
A few try to do good to cover their wrongs but often, the damage is too deep, too permanent.
And many?
Many get lost, wandering deeper into darkness, dragging their souls further from the light.

Remember Christ and Judas.

Christ knew Judas would betray him.
And yet He loved him still.
He provided for him.
He embraced him.
He let him stay.

Judas - in his deceit - mistook Christ’s love for weakness.
And when Judas finally betrayed Him, nature's judgment was swift and dreadful.
Judas hanged himself, unable to bear the crushing weight of what he’d done.

Betrayal is deadly.
Not just to the one betrayed, but more to the betrayer.
Planned betrayal carries a consequence so fierce, no man can run from it.
You may calculate the risks.
You may strategize your moves.
You may succeed in the moment.
But nature will find you.
And nature’s vengeance never misses.

Because even if man forgives you - nature never will.

Be consoled in the justice of nature.
Trust in the laws that govern all things.
And you will find peace - even when the world around you falls into chaos.

Still your favorite writer,
